"This is for you, your mother. Your mother and concubine went to Baiyun Temple to ask for it for you." Li Shimin handed an amulet in his hand to Li Ke.
Li Ke was stunned. He wanted to say that religions are all lies, but he couldn't say this because this thing... was more like a sustenance. Of course, they all knew that they couldn't rely on this. It doesn't work.
But this is a blessing. If you say it is a lie at this time, wouldn't it deny the blessing of your mother and concubine?
So Li Ke could only reach out and take it. The amulet of the Tang Dynasty was called Yushou by the Japanese when it spread to Japan in later generations.
But in the Tang Dynasty, this thing was called an amulet.
It is basically the same as the royal guards of later generations. There is a cloth bag with blessing embroidery on it, and there will be stuffing and so on inside. These fillings can be some jade pendants, wooden plaques and other things that were asked for, or even a piece of talisman paper.
After Li Ke took it over, he checked it carefully. The things used by the royal family were naturally different from those used by ordinary people. Not to mention the overall materials, they were all the best, and the embroidery on the outside was made of gold thread. Embroidery directly.
It can be seen from the dense patterns on the outside of the amulet that it is called a blood relative amulet, which means that it is a direct relative. Most of them are carved by the parents themselves according to the style of Taoist guardian amulets, and the names of the parents are embroidered in the middle. You need to do it yourself for the best effect.
Of course, this is a kind of particularity and a blessing, but Li Ke has already seen the names of Queen Changsun and his mother and concubine on these patterns, and their names are integrated with the amulet itself.
Not only that, but what's important is that Li Ke actually saw Li Shimin's name at the back.
And... it’s okay to see Li Shimin’s name, Li Shimin’s name is still pretty and crooked... It is said that these things need to be embroidered by yourself...
"What are you looking at? Just take it." Li Shimin seemed to have noticed something and said angrily.
"Thank you, father, mother, stepmother and concubine." Li Ke hurriedly put the amulet away. He simply opened the rope on it and put it around his neck.
This is still very rare. The amulets of this era were mostly worn on the body or under clothes. There were almost no amulets that were worn directly around the neck.
Obviously Lao Li was a little angry, but Li Ke was a little touched. An emperor started to play with embroidery. Although he didn't show much, he just embroidered his name crookedly, but it was also a blessing.
By the way, who dared to think that Li Shimin in history could achieve this? I'm afraid no one can think of it, right?
Of course, if you ask Li Shimin, I guess Li Shimin will definitely deny it and will say that Empress Changsun or Concubine Yang helped embroider this. But just look at the fine and neat stitches in the front and look at the back. .
"Well, although state affairs are important, your body is more important. Don't get tired from working on state affairs. If you are tired, no one will handle these things." Li Shimin looked a little better when he saw Li Ke put it on. Then he nodded.
Looking at the white hair on Li Shimin's head and his old figure, he was sitting in front of the table again. There were a lot of memorials in front of him, but he was letting himself rest here.
Li Ke didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Dad, I heard from Chamberlain Chang that you often dream about Duke Lai recently?" Li Ke thought for a while before speaking. Originally, he didn't want to betray Lao Chang, but after thinking about it, Lao Chang should be used to it and shouldn't care. You must have been tricked.
Chang Lin: "..."
"Chang Lin, why do you say everything to others?" Li Shimin glared at Chang Lin and said.
Chang Lin: "..."
"Your Majesty, I just feel that His Highness the King of Qin is only concerned about His Majesty's body, and it concerns His Majesty's body. I feel that I cannot be careless." Chang Lin bowed and saluted.
"Are you meddling in other people's business?" Li Shimin glared at him.
"Dad, you can't blame Chang Jie for this matter. You also know Erchen's character. If Erchen wanted to ask, Chang Jie couldn't stop him. He was mainly afraid that I would have to ask you myself and make you angry, so Just told me."
"Besides, this is not a big deal. If you dream about Lai Guogong, if that doesn't work, just go to Mount Tai. Just take some time to relax, see the people of the Tang Dynasty, and pay you back. And the promise made by Lai Guogong back then."
"The ministers here in Chang'an will help you keep an eye on it. It shouldn't be anything serious. Besides, you also know that Datang now has the latest communication methods, so you can contact us if there are any urgent matters. "Li Ke said.
"Hey, I think so, but we have a lot of affairs in the Tang Dynasty right now, so let's postpone this matter." Li Shimin shook his head.
"Dad, you can go if you want. Your mother, stepmother, and concubines will be with you, or you can bring them all with you when the time comes." Li Ke said.
"You can go, but not now. Forget it, let's wait until Goguryeo and others are pacified. Moreover, the situation in Japan has also begun, and we must wait until stability here." Li Shimin shook his head.
Li Ke wanted to say something else, but Li Shimin interrupted him directly, "Okay, I've made my decision. You don't need to say it. Besides, where can I go where can someone stop me? I don't want to go now. And the current situation doesn’t allow it, so you don’t need to say more. Just go back and rest quickly.”
Li Ke: "..."
You are just an old arrogant person, and you still have the nerve to say it here, but you are just talking about your body.
But Li Shimin said so, and it is estimated that he will definitely not go out in the short term. After Goguryeo and the Japanese kingdom are pacified, Li Shimin will probably go to Mount Tai at that time.
"My son, I don't need to rest. I didn't walk very fast on the way back, and I didn't expend much energy. Dad, don't worry, there are still many things related to the dissolution of the Ministry of Rites." Li Ke shook his head helplessly.
"That's not okay. If you really need to come to the palace for work recently, you can come directly to Liangyi Palace." Li Shimin waved his hands simply and said, "You come here to deal with it. It just so happens that my Daming Palace has been basically completed. Yes, I'm going to take a look at my Daming Palace over there. Do you think I'm willing to work here?"
Li Shimin looked arrogant.
Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, Li Ke wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, Lao Li was so arrogant that he probably wanted to go to the Daming Palace a long time ago and was just thinking of an excuse.
It’s okay to go to Daming Palace. Daming Palace and Taiji Palace are not far apart. There are some things that are relatively complicated to notify, but I don’t care. Let Lao Li relax. Otherwise, if he dreams of his grandfather scolding him after a while, That makes me feel even more depressed.
